MRI: Acquisition of a Transmission Electron Microscope for Research and Education

来自重大研究仪器项目的这项奖励将使南密西西比大学能够购买一台透射电子显微镜(TEM)。电子显微镜将配置一个明亮的CCD摄像头，在环境照明下可见，允许全班学生进行培训，而不是在黑暗的房间里一次训练1-2个学生。其动态范围线性度和灵敏度均优于照相胶片。该仪器将服务于聚合物科学系、NSF材料研究科学和工程中心(MRSEC)、国际涂料和配方研究所、NSF涂料行业/大学合作研究中心、密西西比州聚合物研究所和聚合物科学学习中心。显微镜可以在网络上远程控制，图像可以同时广播到局域网上的多个站点。这将加强对大量通过NSF REU和/或内部暑期项目在USM进行暑期研究的本科生的培训和研究。%这项来自主要研究仪器项目的奖励将使南密西西比大学能够购买一台透射电子显微镜(TEM)。瞬变显微镜将配置一个明亮的CCD摄像头，在环境照明下可见。该仪器将服务于聚合物科学系、NSF材料研究科学和工程中心(MRSEC)、国际涂料和配方研究所、NSF涂料行业/大学合作研究中心、密西西比州聚合物研究所和聚合物科学学习中心。显微镜可以在网络上远程控制，图像可以同时广播到局域网上的多个站点。这将加强对大量通过NSF REU和/或内部暑期项目在USM进行暑期研究的本科生的培训和研究。

This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program will enable the University of Southern Mississippi to purchase a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The TEM will be configured with a bright CCD camera that is visible in ambient lighting, allowing training for a full class of students, rather than 1-2 at a time in a darkened room. The dynamic range linearity, and the sensitivity of the CCD surpass photographic film. The instrument will serve the Department of Polymer Science, NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), International Coatings and Formulations Institute, NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center in Coatings, Mississippi Polymer Institute, and Polymer Science Learning Center. The microscope can be controlled remotely on a network and the image can be simultaneously broadcast to numerous sites on the LAN. This will enhance the training and research of a large number of undergraduate students who conduct summer research at USM via the NSF REU and/or in-house summer programs. %%%This award from the Major Research Instrumentation program will enable the University of Southern Mississippi to purchase a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
